Of the following equilibria, only ________ will shift to the right in response to a decrease in volume. N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) 2NH3 (g
igomit [66]

Answer:

Of the following equilibria, only one will shift to the right in response to a decrease in volume.

N_2 (g) + 3H_2 (g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3 (g)

On decreasing the volume the equilibrium will shift in right direction due to less number of gaseous moles on product side.

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Decrease the volume

If the volume of the container is decreased , the pressure will increase according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in pressure is taking place. So, the equilibrium will shift in the direction number of gaseous moles are less.

N_2 (g) + 3H_2 (g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3 (g)

On decreasing the volume the equilibrium will shift in right direction due to less number of gaseous moles on product side.

2 Fe_2O_3 (s) \rightleftharpoons 4 Fe (s) + 3O_2 (g)

On decreasing the volume the equilibrium will shift in left direction due to less number of gaseous moles on reactant side.

2 SO_3 (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 SO_2 (g) + O_2 (g)

On decreasing the volume the equilibrium will shift in left direction due to less number of gaseous moles on reactant side.

H_2 (g) + Cl_2 (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 HCl (g)

On decreasing the volume the equilibrium will shift in no direction due to same number of gaseous moles on both sides.

2HI (g) \rightleftharpoons H_2 (g) + I_2 (g)

On decreasing the volume the equilibrium will shift in no direction due to same number of gaseous moles on both sides.

A small hole in the wing of a space shuttle requires a 20.7-cm² patch.
cricket20 [7]

The Patch's area of the space shuttle in km² is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²

Given, that a space shuttle requires a 20.7 cm² patch

We have to convert the patch's area from cm² into km².

Unit conversion is a method in which we multiply or divide with a particular numerical factor and then finally round off to the nearest significant digits.

Patch area of the space shuttle is 20.7 cm²

1 cm = 0.00001 km

or, 1 cm² = (0.00001 km)²

or,  1 cm² = 10⁻¹⁰km²

20.7 cm² = 20.7 ×  10⁻¹⁰km²

20.7 cm² = 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²

The patch area in square kilometers is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
